STMicroelectronics has delivered one million development kits for its STM32 microcontrollers and 100,000 kits for the STM8 family, equipping product designers all over the world to create tiny smart devices.

Each development kit jump-starts product designs to assist faster delivery into markets that can range from a few hundred units to millions of units, and span applications that include wearable wellness monitors, environmental sensors, smart meters, industrial controllers, smart-building equipment, and many more.

The STM32 Discovery kits provide an integrated development platform, associating STM32 microcontrollers with on-board components such as ST MEMS microphones, proximity and motion sensors, or an LCD, for demonstration of specific device features and use cases. A similar ecosystem supports designers using the 8-bit STM8 microcontrollers.

In addition, a broad range of solution-oriented evaluation tools provide application-focused features to help designers respond quickly to opportunities in fast-moving markets such as smart building, healthcare and wellness, home appliances, digital consumer products, smart industry, lighting and motor control.
